Men's haberdashery had a fine moment during the men's SS16 collections -- scarves, hats, belts and ties were featured prominently, polishing off otherwise casual ensembles. Ties, scarves and belts alike were long and skinny, adding an air of mod influence to outfits.

Long Skinny Scarves: The scarves of SS16 were revamped for the warmer months and came billowing down the runway in loose and light fabrics. These skinny scarves were paired with many a casual look and came in a large variety of bright hues and prints.

There was an enlarged Ikat print from Missoni as well as solid colored scarves with frayed edges from Burberry Prorsum that came in sky blue and marigold. These scarves were shown loosely knotted once, just below the neck, with the ends left long and undone.

Neckerchiefs: Neckerchiefs seemed to be the premiere scarf accessory and perfectly rounded out the luxury traveler/explorer theme that seemed to pervade the men's collections. Neckerchiefs were worn almost like collars -- twisted around the neck once and designed using gauzy fabrics like crepe and silk, as seen at John Varvatos and Emporio Armani.

History of Men’s Scarves
The wearing of scarves by men was popularised by its adoption by the aviators in both World Wars. They used the scarf for warmth and to prevent chafing as they scanned the sky for enemy planes. They have been a staple in men’s wardrobes for over 200 years, with the world’s militaries using them as rank insignia and unit designators. From the Terracotta Warriors of China to modern-day desert military units, we see scarves used because they provide value in inclement weather.
